Where the only rule to stitching is... you must first put the floss through the needle.

Almost there ...

I'm this close to a finish on One Nation! Decided to stop and show an update photo. Not sure if this will be finished today or tomorrow.

As you can see just 6 more red stars to go. Once again blogger has decided to rotate my picture. No clue as to why.

But, this brings me to a question I'd love to have an answer to - how do you host your pictures on your blog? Mine go to Picasa and I have an album there. But, they only host about 600 photos until you need to pay them to host more. I'm being cheap and don't want to spend the $5 per year. So, should I open another Flickr account to host the pics? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Completed my 4th project of the year last week. Had I not stopped to do it - One Nation would have been toast this weekend. But, I wanted to stitch something else for a bit. Now DH needs to make a frame. I'm torn though - frame this new finish or make it into a pillow or flat finish. Nope - not showing it - it's a present. lol

We've made headway on the DIY. The porch fascia is up and all but 5 posts are now wrapped in vinyl. We are ordering the rail system today. I'll show pictures of the new improved porch after the railings are in. No sense in showing something like this half done!

Otherwise, nothing much has been happening. Last week I babysat my daughters house until FedEx arrived, watched Alivia on Thursday, took a trip to Millersburg to see about prices on the railing (omg, their prices were HIGH), helped on the porch, and stitched.

After the terrible storms that rolled through the mid-west last week and the earthquake in San Francisco - I think Mother Nature is upset. Hope all of you in bloggerville are safe and healthy!

Hi Denise, Your One Nation is so stunning. You must be thrilled to be near the finish line :) With regards to pics.. I don't think mine are stored anywhere?, I just upload from my computer when I post, but that is a great idea that they are all stored together!

It looks fantastic! I use Picasa for mine and pay the extra per year - mainly because I have many pictures when my boys are playing baseball and it makes it easy to share a link with all the parents so they can download the pics they want.

Mmm... Picasa's limit is actually 1024 MB. So the number of photos you can upload would depend on your file size. So far, with only cross stitch photos uploaded to my Picasa, I'm only using up 14 MB or 1.38% of my limit so for me, that's more than enough for the moment. Hope that helps.

About Me

I am a 49 year old wife and mother of two. I have been married for nearly 30 years. And have no idea where the time has gone. I found cross stitching in 1980. In the last 20+ years stitching has become my main interest. I also love reading, Italian cooking, and OSU football.
